Commerce Control List: Expansion of Controls on Certain Biological Equipment Software Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:

The Bureau of Industry and Security BIS publishes this final rule to amend the Export Administration Regulations EAR to implement the decision made at the Australia Group AG Virtual Implementation Meeting session held in May 2021, and later adopted pursuant to the AGs silence procedure. This decision updated the AG Common Control List for dual-use biological equipment by adding controls on nucleic acid assembler and synthesizer software that is capable of designing and building functional genetic elements from digital sequence data. Prior to this AG decision, BIS, consistent with the interagency process described in the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 ECRA, identified this software as a technology to be evaluated as an emerging technology.
The decision by BIS to amend the CCL
to include this software complies with the requirements of ECRA and also reflects the decision of the AG to add it to the regimes Common Control List, thereby making exports of this software subject to multilateral control through the implementation of these changes by individual AG
participating countries including the United States.
DATES: This rule is effective October 5, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau of Industry and Security BIS is amending the Export Administration Regulations EAR to implement the decision made at the Australia Group AG Virtual Implementation Meeting session held in May 2021, and subsequently adopted pursuant to the AG silence procedure the AG silence procedure provides for the adoption of a measure, subsequent to its provisional acceptance at an AG plenary or intersessional meeting, provided that no participating country submits an objection on or before a specified date.
The AG is a multilateral forum consisting of 42 participating countries and the European Union. These participants maintain export controls on a list of chemicals, biological agents, and related equipment and technology that could be used in a chemical or biological weapons program. The AG
periodically reviews items on its control list to enhance the effectiveness of participating governments national controls and to achieve greater harmonization among these controls.
Addition of New Export Control Classification Number ECCN 2D352
Software for Nucleic Acid Assemblers/Synthesizers This final rule amends the Commerce Control List CCL, in Supplement No.
1 to part 774 of the EAR, to add a new ECCN 2D352 to reflect a decision made at the May 2021 Virtual Implementation Meeting session to modify the AG
biological equipment list to add controls on software that is: 1 Designed for nucleic acid assemblers and synthesizers described on this AG
Common Control List; and 2 capable of designing and building functional genetic elements from digital sequence data. Specifically, new ECCN 2D352
controls software designed for nucleic acid assemblers and synthesizers controlled by ECCN 2B352.j that is capable of designing and building functional genetic elements from digital sequence data.
This software, as controlled under new ECCN 2D352, requires a license for chemical and biological weapons CB
reasons and anti-terrorism AT reasons to the destinations indicated under CB
Column 2 and AT Column 1, respectively, on the Commerce Country Chart in Supplement No. 1 to part 738
